At the Christmas 2012 Fayre...

Cristy's Handmade Costume Jewellery

I started making my jewellery as a hobby about 4-5 years ago and I was self
taught. I gradually learnt the basic beading stitches to make different designs
over this period until I was confident enough to sell them, not to make a living
but mostly to continue financing a costly hobby. When I thought the quality was up
to a professional standard I wanted, it gave me more courage to attend
exhibitions and craft events.

I make a wide range of different items including
beaded rings, bracelets, earrings and necklaces and these are my own designs
that are different from the normal jewellery that is sold. I sell my items at
very competitive prices, this gives everyone a chance to buy something and I
hope remind them of my work.
